Bengaluru man orders iPhone 11 Pro via Flipkart, gets fake iPhone with a ‘sticker’
Bengaluru: Another incident of scary online shopping has taken place wherein a Bengaluru man ordered the latest Apple iPhone 11 Pro and got something else instead of the latest flagship.
Fake iPhone 11 Pro delivery
According to a report by IBTimes, a Bengaluru-based software engineer Rajani Kant Kushwah ordered an iPhone 11 Pro from Flipkart and even paid the Rs. 93,900 amount (after discount) in advance.
Instead of getting the iPhone 11 Pro, Kushwah received a ‘fake’ iPhone that had a sticker of the triple-camera module found on the iPhone 11 Pro. Upon removing the sticker, the iPhone appeared to be either the iPhone X or the iPhone XS. However, there was another surprise.
After digging into the phone’s settings, it was found out that the smartphone ran Android and was an iPhone clone with Android apps.
Following the revelation, Kushwah contacted Flipkart and was assured that his fake iPhone will be replaced by a genuine one.
Previous Flipkart incidents like these
Clearly, this isn’t the first blunder by Flipkart. We have heard of such cases (specifically fake iPhone news) in the past when an iPhone was ordered but it was never delivered. Instead, users either got soaps or bricks in place of the original product. Another similar incident took place previously when a Kannur-based man received a box of tiles instead of a camera.
As such incidents continue to take place, especially on Flipkart’s part, the e-commerce company should take more measures to end such cases and not lose user trust.

Karnataka School Edu Dept prohibits children from being made to dance to obscene songs
Bengaluru (PTI): The Karnataka School Education Department has issued a circular strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs in educational and cultural programmes.
It stated that such dances would negatively impact students' mental health and moral values. It will create indiscipline and harm the sanctity of education.
"All the Deputy Directors (Administration) of the state's School Education Department have been asked to take strict measures to prevent children or students from dancing to obscene songs in all government, aided and unaided schools in the state," the office of the commissioner of the School Education Department said in a recent circular.
"If it is found that children are being made to dance to obscene songs, appropriate action will be taken against the headmaster or management of such school," it added.
The department also listed certain measures in this regard, which include: strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes; selecting songs that are inspiring, positive, instilling national pride in children and reflecting the greatness, dignity, values, culture, and morality of the state.
Stating that the school headmaster and management are responsible for selecting songs and dances for cultural programmes, it said, they should also ensure that students wear decent clothes in dance or cultural programmes.
